Trip Rapid Review System – structure

In thinking about the Trip Rapid Review System (TRRS) I see it being a multi-step process supported, where possible, with technology to automate the process as much as possible. The steps are as follows:

Question setting/clarification, including the extraction of search terms.

Search and document selection, including various techniques to unearth articles that may have been missed.

Data extraction to produce an evidence table.

Narrative review including a conclusion or clinical bottom line (to be decided).

Review finalisation. All the above parts pulled together to produce an easy to read rapid review.

Publication and peer review.

Over time I will expand on each step, highlighting how it could work. It’s good for me to do as I need to think through all the issues and it gives readers the opportunity to give feedback.
